High impact information on Kif2c

  • We discuss the possible functions of MCAK at the inner centromere domain and at the perikinetochoric ring during both meiotic divisions [1].
  • During chromosome congression to the metaphase II plate, MCAK relocalises and appears as a ring below each sister kinetochore [1].
  • We have analysed by immunofluorescence in squashed mouse spermatocytes, the distribution and possible function of MCAK, together with Aurora-B, during both meiotic divisions [1].
 

Biological context of Kif2c

  • Thus, MCAK shows a "cone"-like three-dimensional distribution beneath and surrounding the closely associated sister kinetochores [1].
  • We propose that the perikinetochoric rings of MCAK and Aurora-B define a novel transient centromere domain at least in mouse chromosomes during meiosis [1].
